In fact, I tried it with both "no video driver" option checked and
unchecked.

Ah-ha...this would make sense...it is consistent with the behavior I'm
seeing.  I need to get R5 setup on my other machine here before I can
recompile the kernel without the backlight functions and try it again so it
may be a week or so before I can do this...maybe I can try it this
weekend...
